WiCyS was founded in 2014 through a National Science Foundation grant to Dr Ambareen Siraj from Tennessee Tech University to start WiCyS as a conference. By 2018 the group had grown enough to spin up its own nonprofit organization, and began offering other services to women in the security community, like a job board, professional affiliate opportunities, training assistant programs, apprenticeship placement services and more.
CISA said in its announcement of the partnership that one of its first joint initiatives will be CISA's participation in WiCyS'program. Open to all WiCyS members, the nine-month program groups mentees into cohorts for virtual meetings with cybersecurity industry mentors, of whom CISA employees will presumably now be part. Last year, the program included 746 learners from entry to senior levels.
CISA caught five more known vulnerabilities being exploited in the wild this week, but only three of them were rated critical:: the XStream library is vulnerable to a RCE that could allow a remote attacker to manipulate the processed input stream to execute commands as the host.: When ACLs are enabled in Apache Spark, a code path is opened in HttpSecurityFilter that allows for impersonation whenever a user provides an arbitrary username.
